Condition

Overall in very good condition. The vase is highly artistic, featuring a thin serpentine neck and beautifully decorated body. When viewed with reflected light, the vase displays deep green and aqua hues with brilliant jewel-tone and pastel iridescence. The vase with some scattered air bubbles, particulate inclusions, and surface irregularities inherent in the making and not visually distracting. An extremely elegant and delicate example of the form with superb decoration and coloration.
